Step into a cozy,

Magical evening at the Haven Shop,

Where you'll receive a private tarot reading in the warm glow of candlelight.

As each card is revealed,

You'll uncover empowering messages from your spirit team guiding you toward self-confidence,

Authenticity,

And exciting possibilities.

With soothing tea,

Gentle rituals,

And mystical company,

You'll leave the shop feeling peaceful and ready for a night of deep slumber.

The Haven Shop is a fantasy bedtime story series that will reconnect you with your inner magic as you dwell in the sacred space between waking and sleep.

My name is Andrea,

And I am deeply honored to be part of your sacred bedtime ritual.

Tonight,

We focus on connecting with your personal intuition so that you can receive insights and clarity to help you along your path.

This story,

And the card reading within it,

Was crafted with the intention of supporting your self-care practice and offering you loving messages from your spirit team.

As you listen,

Take whatever resonates with you,

And let the healing magic of the reading guide you toward what you need most.

From here on,

The only thing you need to do is relax and enjoy tonight's story.

Tonight,

You find yourself in the company of Aurora,

The Healing Witch,

For a private and deeply anticipated session.

You've been looking forward to this evening for weeks,

Sensing that something profound awaits you.

Aurora has prepared a special three-card tarot reading just for you,

And the atmosphere around you feels nothing short of magical.

The private healing room you've stepped into holds a power that you can feel deep in your bones.

It's as though the very air hums with a potent healing energy,

Yet the space feels incredibly cozy at the same time.

The lighting is soft,

With flickering candlelight casting warm,

Gentle shadows across the room.

Small lanterns hang from the walls,

Their glow wrapping around the space,

The space making it feel like a sanctuary.

You are curled up in an impossibly soft chair.

A plush blanket is draped over your lap.

The weight of it feels comforting and grounding.

Jadis,

An ever-soothing and maternal presence,

Pours tea from a steaming pot.

The fragrance fills the room as she speaks softly.

This is moon tea,

Steeped under the full moon in Pisces.

It will help you go within,

Connect with your intuition,

And open yourself to the messages awaiting you tonight.

The tea is warm in your hands,

And as you bring it to your lips,

You notice its soft floral notes,

Mingling with an earthy sweetness.

Each sip fills you with a sense of calm and deep inner peace,

As though you are drinking in the very essence of the moon's magic.

You feel a subtle shift within you,

Like the veil between your conscious mind and your intuition has thinned,

Preparing you for what's to come.

Once the tea is poured,

Jadis quietly leaves you and Aurora to your session,

Closing the door gently behind her.

Aurora begins by shuffling her tarot deck,

The cards making a soft,

Rhythmic sound as they move through her hands.

She closes her eyes and sets a clear,

Protective intention for the session.

Please surround us in a cylinder of healing light.

Within this circle of white light,

We invite our spirit teams,

Past loved ones,

And animal guides to join us.

We ask for messages and guidance for our highest and greatest good.

As Aurora shuffles,

One card suddenly pops from the deck on its own.

Aurora's eyes brighten as she catches it,

Smiling softly.

Ah,

This is an extra message,

She says.

A direct gift from your spirit team.

We'll look at this together when the time is right.

She places the card face down on the table and continues to shuffle.

She looks at you then,

Her eyes inviting.

Do you have any specific questions for this reading?

You pause,

Feeling the weight of so many things you'd like to ask.

Yet unsure how to put it into words.

After a moment,

Aurora gently suggests.

Sometimes the best question is simply to ask what you need to know in this moment.

Trust that your spirit team will deliver the guidance that's meant for you.

You nod,

Feeling a sense of relief,

And decide to leave it to the universe.

Aurora fans out the deck in front of you.

The cards are old,

Well-loved,

And beautiful in their mystery.

As you gaze at them,

The intricate designs on the backs seem to shimmer and shift,

As though the symbols themselves are alive,

Inviting you to look deeper.

Choose three,

She says,

Her voice a soothing guide.

You select three cards,

The feeling of their weight in your hands grounding you in the present.

As you hand them to Aurora,

She carefully collects the deck and sets it aside,

Before turning her attention to the cards you've chosen.

Aurora picks up the very first card,

The one that jumped out of the deck on its own,

And slowly flips it over.

The image of the world is revealed,

Shimmering with vibrant colors and powerful symbolism.

Aurora's face lights up in a smile.

This is a beautiful card,

She says.

The world speaks of completion,

Of a cycle coming full circle.

It's a card of fulfillment and harmony.

It suggests that you are on the brink of a very happy ending,

A culmination of all the good work you've been doing.

Everything is falling into place,

And the universe is aligning to bring you the closure or success you've been seeking.

You feel a gentle surge of hope as her words sink in.

There's something deeply reassuring.

About knowing that everything is as it should be.

Keep this card in mind,

Aurora continues.

It's an important reminder as we move through the rest of your reading.

Whatever comes up next,

Know that it's all leading you toward that happy resolution.

With a graceful hand,

She turns her attention to the three cards you chose.

The first card reveals itself to be the King of Plumes,

A powerful figure holding a long,

Feathered staff instead of the traditional sword.

His presence on the card radiates strength and wisdom.

And yet,

There's an openness in his expression,

Inviting you to explore deeper truths.

This card,

Aurora explains,

Is all about wisdom and ambition.

It's a call to step fully into your truth,

To stay aligned with who you are and what you believe.

The King of Plumes invites you to share your thoughts,

Ideas,

And needs with clarity and authenticity.

This is your time to embrace your voice,

To be true to yourself,

And to express that truth openly.

As she speaks,

A situation in your life rises to the surface of your mind.

It's something you've been hesitant to address,

But now,

With the encouragement of the King of Plumes and the promise of a happy outcome,

You feel your heart expand.

The message is clear.

By embracing your authentic self and speaking your truth,

You are unlocking the path to your happily ever after.

Aurora notices the shift in your energy and gently nods in understanding.

Your ability to express yourself comes from your throat chakra.

She explains,

Her hand moving toward a small bowl filled with various crystals.

She sifts through them for a moment before selecting a smooth,

Vibrant blue stone.

This,

She says,

Placing the stone in your hand,

Is a blue chalcedony.

It will help you clear any blockages in your throat chakra so you can speak from the heart with ease and grace.

Hold it close and let it remind you that your voice has power.

You wrap your fingers around the cool,

Smooth surface of the stone.

As you hold it,

You feel a gentle warmth radiating from within.

A subtle but powerful energy that seems to loosen the tension in your throat,

Neck,

And chest.

There's a quiet reassurance in the stone's presence as though it is already helping you to step into your authenticity.

Aurora gently flips over the next card,

Revealing the six of teacups.

In the Haven Shop's tarot deck,

The teacups represent the element of water,

And the flow of emotions,

Creativity,

And deep connections.

The artwork on the card shows a scene of celebration,

Filled with radiant energy and symbols of accomplishment.

Ah,

The six of teacups,

Aurora says,

With a knowing smile.

This card is a sign of congratulations.

It speaks to the incredible work you've done,

The milestones you've achieved,

And the joy that comes from seeing your efforts brought to fruition.

It's a reminder to pause and honor how far you've come before embarking on the next chapter.

Her words stir a sense of pride within you,

And the thought of being recognized for your efforts fills you with a quiet satisfaction.

This card ushers in rewards,

Opportunities,

And personal growth.

You've done an incredible job,

And as a result,

You are attracting abundance from all directions.

Just as the King of Plumes called you to step into your authenticity,

Aurora continues,

The Six of Teacups encourages you to embrace the new opportunities that come to you when you stay true to yourself.

Every accomplishment,

Every piece of recognition,

Is linked to your ability to share your true colors with the world.

As you reflect on the connection between these two cards,

You see the path forming for you.

Your authenticity,

Paired with the acknowledgement of your past efforts,

Is leading you toward the happy outcome promised by the World Card.

Each card weaves together,

Showing you the roadmap to success,

Fulfillment,

And a deeper sense of purpose.

Aurora smiles at you warmly.

The journey is not over yet,

But it is clear,

You are exactly where you need to be.

The universe is celebrating you,

And even more is yet to come.

You take another sip of the Moon Tea,

Its warmth spreading through you like a gentle wave of peace.

The soft,

Floral notes are even more pronounced now,

And as the liquid flows down,

You feel a deeper sense of calm settle into your chest,

As if every sip is drawing you closer to your own inner knowing.

Just then,

You hear the soft creak of the door,

As it nudges open ever so slightly.

Layla,

Aurora's feline familiar,

Slips quietly into the room.

Her sleek,

Black fur catches the soft glow of candlelight as she pads across the floor with an air of quiet confidence.

She's always known when she's needed,

And tonight is no exception.

Without a sound,

Layla weaves her way to your feet,

Gently brushing against your legs before circling twice and curling up into a cozy ball on the plush rug beneath your chair.

The warmth of her presence adds another layer of comfort to the already magical atmosphere.

You reach down to gently stroke her fur,

Feeling the soft vibration of her purring,

Offering you grounding and reassurance.

Aurora gives you a moment to bask in the serenity of the room,

And reflect on the messages you've received so far.

The flickering lanterns,

The comforting weight of Layla at your feet,

The tea warming your hands,

It all feels so perfect.

As if the universe itself has wrapped you in a blanket of peace and safety.

As the energy settles,

Aurora turns her attention to the final card,

Her fingers gently brushing its edge.

There's a moment of quiet anticipation as she pauses,

Letting the room hold its collective breath before she delicately flips over the last card.

The bold image of strength appears.

The lion and maiden stand side-by-side,

Their energies intertwined in perfect harmony.

Aurora's eyes light up as she sees it.

Strength,

She murmurs with reverence,

Is a major Arcana card,

And that means it carries extra weight in your reading.

This isn't just about the moment,

It's about your soul's journey.

A powerful message for your life path.

The message of strength is one of self-confidence,

Self-forgiveness,

And gentle yet firm assertiveness.

It's a reminder that true strength comes from within,

From embracing all parts of yourself,

The light and the shadow,

With love and compassion.

The strength card is about knowing when to stand your ground,

And when to soften.

This card is telling you that the next key ingredient to reaching your happy outcome is to trust in your own power.

Her words strike a chord deep within you.

It's not just about being strong in the conventional sense,

It's about having the confidence to be authentic,

And the courage to forgive yourself for past missteps.

And walking forward,

With your head held high,

The strength card is calling you to embrace your inner lion,

And know that you have everything you need to achieve the success that awaits you.

She places the card down gently,

Then stands and moves to a shelf adorned with a variety of mysterious bottles and vials.

After a moment of searching,

She selects one,

A beautiful,

Amber bottle with golden accents.

This,

She says,

Holding the bottle up,

Is a solar plexus healing potion.

The solar plexus chakra is where your personal power resides,

And it's the energy center for your self-confidence and worthiness.

I'm going to mist this over you to help activate your inner strength.

Aurora asks you to close your eyes.

You do,

Sinking even deeper into the coziness of the chair.

You hear the faint sound of the spritzer as Aurora releases the potion into the air,

And a fine mist begins to settle gently onto your skin.

The scent envelops you immediately,

Fresh,

Bright,

And invigorating.

It's lemony,

With just a hint of herbs,

Like walking through a sun-drenched garden in early morning.

The aroma fills your senses,

Activating and aligning every part of you,

From the crown of your head to the tip of your toes.

As the mist touches your skin,

You feel an instant shift,

A soft yet undeniable wave of empowerment washing over you.

It's as if the energy of the potion is sinking into your very core,

Warming the space around your solar plexus,

Right beneath your ribs.

You feel lighter,

Lighter,

More expansive.

The limitations you once placed on yourself are dissolving,

Making room for the fullness of who you truly are.

Aurora watches you with gentle eyes,

Sensing the transformation taking place.

Feel the power of your solar plexus expanding,

She says softly.

This is where your strength lives.

Let it grow.

Together,

You and Aurora look over the cards spread before you.

Let's take a final look at the messages your spirit guides have shared tonight.

First,

The world.

A sign of completion,

Fulfillment,

And a happy outcome on the horizon.

Then,

The King of Plumes,

Reminding you to embrace your authenticity and speak your truth.

The Six of Teacups came next,

Congratulating you for the hard work you've done and reminding you to celebrate your accomplishments as you prepare for your next chapter.

And finally,

Strength,

Calling you to step into your power and lead with courage.

As she recounts the cards,

Each one seems to shimmer a little more brightly as the energy of the reading seals itself into your heart.

Aurora reaches out with her hand,

And you see her fingers twirl in a small,

Deliberate circle above the cards.

With this,

She says,

We close the reading,

But know that your spirit guides are always with you,

Sending you signs and gentle nudges along the way.

Just then,

A soft,

Glowing light appears in the air above the cards.

It flickers briefly,

Like a tiny star,

Before slowly fading away.

That's them,

Aurora whispers,

Your guides.

Just a little reminder that they're here,

Cheering you on as you explore your path.

The light leaves behind a sense of warmth,

Like a reassuring hug from the universe.

You feel deeply peaceful and comforted by the knowing that you are never truly alone.

Aurora stands and places her hands together in a soft clap,

And so it is,

She says.

Your reading is complete,

But the energy of tonight will continue to unfold.

Layla stirs at your feet,

Stretching lazily,

And you rise from your cozy chair,

Feeling lighter and more empowered.

Aurora smiles warmly,

Her eyes reflecting the magic of the evening.

Intuitively,

You step toward each other to share a gentle hug.

A magical new chapter awaits you,

She whispers.

You thank her,

Grateful for the wisdom and gentle magic she's shared tonight.

You make your way into the main area of the Haven Shop,

Where the glow of lanterns casts a soft light over the space.

Jadis is tidying up,

Her familiar grace and quiet energy filling the room.

She looks up as you approach,

Her face lighting up in a smile.

Heading out,

She asks,

Come back whenever you need a little reminder of your own magic.

Sweet dreams.

As you turn to leave,

Your eyes drift to the corner of the room,

Where Rex's domed cage hangs.

The elegant white raven is fast asleep,

His cage covered with a soft woven blanket.

The sight brings a quiet sense of comfort.

It is a reminder that even the magical creatures of this world rest and recharge.

You step to the door and push it open gently,

The familiar sound of wind chimes singing as you exit.

Behind you,

The door clicks shut with a soft penality.

You are the last visitor of the day.

Outside,

The cool evening air greets you.

It is refreshing and crisp.

Stars twinkle overhead,

And the faint glow of the moon bathes the street in silver light.

You take a deep breath,

Feeling happy and hopeful.

As you make your way home,

A smile crosses your face.

The events of the evening have filled you with an eagerness to embrace your future.

With each step you take,

You feel a deep sense of readiness.

For sleep.

Your body,

Mind,

And spirit in perfect alignment.

Tonight,

You'll sleep deeply,

Wrapped in the magic and peace of the Haven Shop.

Good night.
